We ask the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve to ensure that the study of check processing times required by Congress under the “Check 21” law provides sound basis for a rulemaking process to reexamine check hold times for potential reductions. We also ask to commit now to starting a rulemaking process to reexamine check hold times as soon as the study is completed.
